Rose Of England
****************
Verse 1
********
[Em]Hear my voice and [G]listen well, [A]and a story [C]I will [D]tell,
[Em]How duty brought a [G]broken heart, [A]and why a love so [C]strong
Must fall [Em]apart;
Verse 2
********
[Em]She was lovely, [G]she was fine, [A]daughter of a [C]royal [D]line,
[Em]He, no equal, [G]but for them it [A]mattered little [C]for they [D]were in [Em]love;
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Chorus
*******
[C]Rose of England, [G]sweet and fair, [D]shining with the [Em]sun,
[C]Rose of England, [G]have a care, [Am]for where the thorn is,
[C]There the [D]blood will [Em]run;
[C]Oh [D]my [Em]heart, [C]oh [D]my [Em]heart;
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Verse 3
********
[Em]Through the summer [G]days and nights, [A]stolen kisses [C]and [D]delights
[Em]Would thrill their hearts and [G]fill their dreams with [A]all emotions
[C]That true [D]love can [Em]bring;
Verse 4
********
[Em]But black of mourning [G]came one day, [A]when her sister [C]passed [D]away,
[Em]And many said on [G]bended knee, [A]she has gone, [C]you must [D]be our [Em]Queen;
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Chorus
*******
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Verse 5
********
[Em]To the abbey [G]she did ride, [A]with her lover [C]by her [D]side,
[Em]When they heard the [G]church bells ring, [A]she was Queen
[C]And one day, [D]he'd be [Em]King;
Verse 6
********
[Em]But men of malice, [G]men of hate, [A]protesting to her [C]chambers [D]came,
[Em]A foreign prince will [G]have your hand, for [A]he'll bring peace
And [C]riches [D]to our [Em]land;
--------------------------------------------------------------------

***********
She said, "[A]Do you tell me that I cannot [Em]wed the one I love
[A]Do you tell me that I am not [Em]mistress of my [D]hea[Em]rt
[C]Ooh[D] [Em] [C]Aah[D] [Em]
Verse 7
********
[Em]And so with heavy [G]weight of life she [A]kissed her lover [C]one last [D]time,
[Em]This land I wed, and [G]no man comes, for [A]if I cannot [C]have you, I'l[D]l have [Em]none;
